"Each stage in the life cycle of coal—extraction, transport, processing, and combustion—generates a waste stream
and carries multiple hazards for health and the environment. These costs are external to the coal industry and are thus often considered “externalities.”We estimate that the life cycle effects of coal and the waste stream generated are costing the U.S. public a third to over one-half of a trillion dollars annually.Many of these so-called externalities are, moreover, cumulative. Accounting for the damages conservatively doubles to triples the price of electricity from coal per kWh generated, making wind, solar, and other forms of nonfossil fuel power generation, along with investments in efficiency and electricity conservation methods, economically competitive."

This is going to be a huge fight and we're just getting started. Legal pot, marriage for everyone, and no stinkin' coal trains. We can do this.

This goes equally for NARAL, WCV, and all the rest. They only endorse if you're loaded and have a small army at your disposal.

The only ones that care about positions are the parties. Though they can be a bit fickle and selective too.

But investing in coal makes a LOT of money for the coal company CEOs, which is why we do it.
